Christians : my problem with Christianity, some questions.

In the ancient near east, the diplomatic relationships were described as "father-son" or "brother-brother". Allied kings that were equals would call each other brothers. A weaker king would call himself a son.

Each city was ruled by a god, and the king of that city would be considered the human caretaker of the god's city. The king would be like the son of that god.

A particularly devout person might also be called a "son of God".

I'm sure most people have heard all this before. So "son of God" isn't necessarily a shocking title for a prophet.

EDIT: I realized the title "son of God" wasn't the issue, but the idea of the virgin birth of particular son. So what I said above doesn't help.
